Sci-fi reports that Spider-Man 3 is already breaking records around the world. The film set records in every territory it opened in, and it will all come to a head on Friday when it opens domestically here in the US, with the largest number of theaters for any film in history. I can’t wait…

On Tuesday, it premiered in more than a dozen key territories, including Japan, France, Germany, Italy and South Korea. Another eight go May 2, with 30 more on May 3, including China, Australia and Russia, and an additional 30 on May 4, including the United Kingdom and India.

For May 1, Sony estimated that the movie hit ¥415 million ($3.47 million) in Japan, beating Spider-Man 2’s ¥410 million. The first Spidey took in ¥347 million in its first day in Japan in 2004.

In Korea, Spider-Man 3 beat one-day marks for its predecessors, taking in 3.2 billion won ($3.44 million). In Hong Kong, Spidey saw the biggest opening day of all time, with $HK7.5 million ($958,984), besting the previous record holder, Kung Fu Hustle.
